~*~ Happy Birthday Kevin~*~

Happy Birthday to my baby boy who is 17 years old today! He has grown up way too fast. I wish we could keep them little forever.

Semi Homemade Cinnamon Twists

Semi Homemade Cinnamon Twists

I made two batches. One with low fat crescent rolls and one regular.

1 Can Crescent Rolls
3/4 C Sugar
3TBSP Cinnamon

Mix sugar and cinnamon together. I used a plate. Unroll the crescent rolls. I then "dipped" each crescent roll in the mixture, making sure to get both sides coated. Then I rolled them up like normal and put them on a sprayed pan.

Baked 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Icing

3/4 c brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp flour
2 - 3 Tbsp melted margarine
3/4 c icing sugar

I melted the butter then added the cinnamon and flour. Then mixed in the brown sugar and icing sugar. I also added about a TBSP of water to thin it a bit. I think put a TBSP of the mix on each crescent. They had cooled a tiny bit.

I sampled this recipe from Here and Here. I decided to mix the two and use the crescent rolls. They were extremely yummy!

Bento

We are going Bento! I can hardly wait. I ordered a few boxes from the above website. Has anyone ever done this? Its actually very interesting.

I think we are all finally well...

Its been a trying three weeks here at our home. Everyone has been sick off and on. I believe that everyone else had the flu. I had bronchitis. :( Sorry for disappearing from the blogging world! :) We are all feeling tons better now.

Baby Blanket

Here is the baby blanket I am working on for soon to be nephew Asher. He will be born in November. I can not wait to be an aunt(for the first time!). This is a new pattern and I am not sure if I like the "dips" on the ripple. They leave those holes. They aren't as noticeable when looking at the blanket in person but they are still annoying to me.

Check out the stick family

This is great! I made one and added it to the bottom of my blog. :)
